Why is crash dieting for weight loss a weak prevention strategy?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: It can cause nutrient deficiency and weight regain risk
Option A is correct because crash diets often impose severe energy restriction, eliminate food groups, or rely on unrealistic rules. They may cause fatigue, inadequate protein or micronutrient intake, loss of lean tissue, poor concentration, and a high likelihood of regaining weight when normal eating resumes. Sustainable prevention uses a balanced eating pattern, gradual change, physical activity, monitoring, and support rather than extreme fasting.
